45. Ricky Watters (1991-1994)

Ricky Watters led the San Francisco 49ers in offense from 1992 to 1994 and was a primary reason why they went to the NFC Championship Game in '92 and '93. In fact, he set an NFL postseason record, as he scored five touchdowns in a 44-3 rout of the New York Giants in a '93 divisional playoff game.

Later, he would provide an even bigger contribution, as he scored three touchdowns in the team's victory in Super Bowl XXIX.

39. Steve Wallace (1986-1996)

Steve Wallace was a member of the San Francisco 49ers team that won three Super Bowls. Head coach Bill Walsh often referred to Wallace as one of his favorite players ever.

Due to his physical style of play, Wallace suffered many concussions throughout his career. In fact, the head injuries were so prevalent that he was forced to wear a styrofoam helmet above his regular one.

On a side note, he earned the Community Player of the Year Award in 1992.

38. Kermit Alexander (1963-1969)

The San Francisco 49ers took Kermit Alexander with the eighth overall selection in the 1963 NFL Draft, and he was best known as the cornerback who played opposite Jimmy Johnson, which formed one of the most stifling tandems in the league.

36. Eric Wright (1981-1990)

Eric Wright was widely considered one of the best, if not the best, cornerback of his playing era. He spent his entire 10-year career with the San Francisco 49ers and was part of four Super Bowl-winning squads.

His best season came in 1993 when he intercepted seven passes, returning them for a total of 164 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

35. Freddie Solomon (1978-1985)

Freddie Solomon had several big games for the San Francisco 49ers, but none was bigger than a three-touchdown performance in which he scored one receiving, one rushing and one on a punt return.

An interesting fact about Solomon was that he was indeed the intended receiver on Dwight Clark's famous "The Catch" play. However, he had slipped while breaking out of his cut. Of course, it all worked out in the end.

34. Charles Haley (1986-1991, 1998-1999)

Charles Haley was one of the most versatile defensive players of his time as he possessed the unique ability to generate an effective pass rush from both the outside linebacker and defensive end position. For his career, Haley had 100.5 sacks.

Still today, he is the only NFL player to win five Super Bowls, which is truly a remarkable feat.

Interestingly enough, his resume hasn't been enough to claim him a spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame yet.

31. Guy McIntyre (1984-1993)

Guy McIntyre, an offensive guard for the San Francisco 49ers, became the first lineman to revolutionize the game, as he was the first in NFL history to be used as a blocking back in Bill Walsh's "Elephant" short-yardage formation.

This strategy was rather successful and later adapted by other teams in the league.

24. Frank Gore (2005-Present)

He's amassed 1,000 yards on the ground in each of his past four seasons and doesn't seem like he'll slow down anytime soon. Moreover, he has the ability to beat his opponents in the receiving game as well.

All in all, Gore is a superb talent and could eventually be the best running back in team history.

4. Steve Young (1987-1999)

It’s truly amazing how the 49ers were able to make the fluid transition from Hall of Fame quarterback to Hall of Fame quarterback as Steve Young successfully met the high expectations that Joe Montana left him with.

Young is a three-time Super Bowl champion and holds the record for the highest quarterback passer rating of all time.

3. Ronnie Lott (1981-1990)

Whether he lined up at cornerback, free safety or strong safety, Ronnie Lott was one of the most feared hitters of all time. He set the tempo for the 49ers defense and was a force to reckon with in the secondary.

Furthermore, he was elected as a member of both the 1980s and '90s All-Decade teams.

2. Joe Montana (1979-1992)

Joe Montana, or Joe Cool, as many referred to him, was one of the best when under pressure. In fact, he led the 49ers to 31 comeback victories, which makes him the most clutch quarterback ever, in my mind.

Moreover, the eight-time Pro Bowler was an integral key to four Super Bowl victories.
